2003 Morales BTS. Like the older Morales BTS model, but they ditched the rear peg boss', stepped up the quality and lengthened the toptube.

when riding it around, you must go through the truck scales prior to crossing bridges!

Re: 2003 Morales BTS
it was from the time of 'the heavier the better' erra. it will probably weigh in at about 7-9lbs for just the frame.

Re: 2003 Morales BTS
PJ is right Fox, it's around 8lbs. I'm not home to weigh it, but it did seem lighter than the Poverty BTS frame (probably because this Morales is actually chromoly!!) lol
If I didn't buy an Evolution frame off of a friend than I'd be riding this Morales BTS frame with no regrets.

Re: 2003 Morales BTS
Nah, those things were way too heavy for me. We had one at a shop I used to work at and me and some of the guys took turns with the frame to see if any one of us would like it. It never caught on. This thing was a monster! Even heavier than my Warpig and the Pig is HEAVY!!!

Actually it weighs less than a Warpig frame... You should research first before giving a completely wrong opinion Taxman.
Warpigs (depending on TT length and year) were around 7.8 to 8.3 lbs, BTS (only available in 21" TT) was 7.0 lbs.

Re: 2003 Morales BTS
Duke when I'm back home I'll look through the 2002 catalog for ya. It should have the spec sheet included somewhere, never really looked for it before amongst all the dealer papers/information.
The melonpeel site I just happened upon, before that I didn't think that the 03 Morales info was even available anymore.

Thanks Hellmutt 
So, do they still sell that frame? It's the only frame they have for display in their site..
Hey JQ, mine unfortunately should be more, has 7mm rear dropouts and a massive headtube.
